A Book on Hemerocallis 
Dr. A. B. Stout, Director of the Laboratories of the New 
York Botanical Gardens, and Hemerocallis Hybridist, has 
just published a very interesting and valuable book on Day- 
lilies. He gives full descriptions of the various species and 
practical points on their use and culture. The book con¬ 
tains a number of colored and half-tone plates. Something 
you will need for reference. 120 pp.

The Cold of Ophir 
+ 
It was a rare coincidence when Bertrand H. Farr re¬ 
called the Gold mines of Solomon and named Hemero¬ 
callis Ophir; for no other plant variety we have ever 
handled has enjoyed such constant demand and such 
fixed value. 
Here are entirely unsolicited and unexpected letters 
which confirm the merits of Ophir. 
All last summer I intended writing you about the Hemerocallis 
you sent. They were very splendid. One plant—Ophir—had at 
one time, over a hundred blooms. It was the most lovely thing 
I ever saw. Mrs. Jacques Busbee, Steeds, N. C. 
I have at least 20 varieties of Hemerocallis in my garden and 
I believe Farr’s Ophir is the most satisfactory. If I could only 
have only one of the 20 I would choose it as it always does 
well regardless of our seasons which are pretty hot and dry out 
here. L. F. Valentine, Clay Center, Kansas. 
We have often wondered why our enduring favorite, Ophir, 
hasn’t had a friend at court who would advertise it to its full 
worth. To us it is the finest and most vigorous and most depend¬ 
able of fully a hundred sorts. Port Rose Carden, Freeport, III. 
Please send me your new catalog. I got two clumps of Ophir 
from you two years ago. They are now in bloom and are decid¬ 
edly the loveliest things of their species that I have ever seen. 
Dr. Cuy Steele, Cambridge, Md. 
The Ophir Day Lilies purchased from you started to bloom 
June 28th, ended July 24th. The temperature was 111° on two 
days and over 100° nearly every day with no rain. S. A. Garret- 
son, 3712 Orleans Ave., Sioux City, Iowa.
